It doesn't matter where you start; it's where your journey takes you that matters more, and Brandon is living proof of that. Let's listen in and hear the story of how Brandon became a self-made millionaire.  Brandon's story began when his mom was nineteen. Young and pregnant, his mom moved back in with her parents and applied for welfare to make ends meet. Brandon learned a lot about the value of money at a very young age. When his mom would take him shopping, he loved to put baseball cards in the shopping cart. But, baseball cards cost money. Brandon discovered early on that if he wanted something, he had to work for it. So he got a job working as a paperboy for a local newspaper.  Brandon's job was to collect money from the customers for their newspaper subscriptions. Brandon quickly noticed how many people would ignore his "knock at the door" to avoid "paying up." It wasn't until a later date that Brandon would have to turn in the money he collected, keeping some for his own commission. Brandon saw this as an opportunity to spend most of the money he collected, thinking he could also avoid "the knock at the door." Brandon learned a key lesson from that experience, not to spend more than you earn. From that day on, he carried that lesson with him. Brandon's next steps took him on a wild journey. He started playing football, became good enough to earn a football scholarship at his choice of college, and had big dreams of playing professionally. Brandon majored in communication until he realized that finance had more to offer. He locked his sights in on a future in finance. To break onto the scene, Brandon got a job at a bank, where he learned about loans and other financial programs.  Then from Pittsburgh to Washington DC, Brandon set his sights on having a successful career. He learned about investments, stocks, savings, and earnings and became a millionaire because of his smart and careful relationship with money. Now Brandon is here to help us make the same choices with money. Brandon's "welfare to millionaire" story is one that is truly inspiring and encouraging. Brandon reminds us that the future is still undecided, and we have no idea what it may hold. But what we can control is what we do with our money.  We all have a chance today to become financially successful. Are you ready? Do you want to learn how to live like a millionaire? In this episode, Brandon and Marc give us the inside scoop on how we can start making that happen today. You have to check out this episode.  Visit The Better Wallet now to conne--- Connect with Me!
